Seeping into the pores of the local people outside, the sun’s rays crawled into every corner of the city. It was our guide. As we drove through the sweaty, crowded streets, I reveled in the scenery of this incredible place. Then he stopped. Our crazy taxi driver apparently decided the upcoming traffic was too much for him, so he threw the cab in reverse and gunned it.</p>

We’re not the family that has sing-a-longs on road trips, but given my whole family’s level of exhaustion-induced delirium towards the end of our ten-day trip across Europe to Switzerland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Italy, we found ourselves singing. A well-oiled traveling machine, my family rented a car and drove through across Europe.</p>

<em>Namaste </em>is the greeting used in India. It means: the divine light within me bows to the divine light within you. My family has visited India twice, and we hope to go there again in the upcoming years. India is a country with so many places to visit. To help narrow things down, I suggest tourists categorize where they visit and what they do through the 3 C’s- culture, cuisine and custom.</p>

On June 25, 2011, my mother, our family friend, and I left for a two week trip to the Dominican Republic (DR) to visit my two sisters and their husbands. My siblings moved down to the DR approximately five months prior to our visit simply to live and experience a new culture. Now it was my turn to experience the culture, practice my Spanish, and get a relaxing vacation all in one trip. Little did I know, there was something else in store for me.</p>

Indian and American cultures have plenty of differences and it is hard to find the harmony between the two, especially in instances regarding religion. The confusion escalated because I went to a Christian private school for the first seven years of my education and was heavily influenced with the theology. My parents, also, practiced Hinduism at home. Subsequently, I was left with an identity crisis.</p>

Unlike many teenagers, I had only seen the ocean once. So, when my friend offered to take me on a vacation to Florida, my answer was of course, yes. Along with an all expense paid vacation to Florida, my friend told me we would be going to Disney, and also Universal Studios. I had always wanted to go there. She told me that we would be staying at a condo on the beach. This may seem like a dream come true, but it soon went horribly wrong.</p>
